    Why do people attend church?

    Why are some Christians so consumed with their denomination?

    Why do people attend church?

    When I was 18 I switched from Methodist to Baptist. I would like to tell you there was some theological reason for this, but there was not. I started attending the Baptist church because a friend invited me and I enjoyed the services and was growing, so I wanted to be a part of it.

    Why are some Christians so consumed with their denomination?

    Okay, let's get back on topic. The original question was: "Christ died for his elect and God calls them His children. Why, then, do people identify so strongly with their denomination when there is no biblical support for denominations?" Which leads to the question of if that premise is true...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. -- "The great majority of Americans are in favor of more stringent regulation of the sale and ownership of guns in three ways that go beyond current law in most states.

    Why are some Christians so consumed with their denomination?

    Yes, that's true. But, I doubt that reflects what most people do. From what i have seen most people go to the church they do because either. They were invited by someone else Their family goes to that church and they have family ties there Or sometimes a particular program or pastor is popular...

    Why are some Christians so consumed with their denomination?

    I would guess that many people don't think very deeply about it and simply go to the church they do because that is what they are use to.

    Priest of a new covenant

    this was our passage this morning during the sermon in Hebrews 7:11-20, NIV 11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of...

    USA Keep Religion Out of Public School

    There are ways to introduce and talk about God without being dogmatic and putting it in the curriculum. I remember when our speech class in high school wanted us to examine a dialogue and talk about it. I was a junior in high school at the time. This was around 1984. I chose dialogue between...

    Demonic kid

    There's no behavioral issue that justifies the mother being so passive and not doing anything. Take him to the bathroom and spank his little butt. Give him a sedative and let him sleep through the trip. Some of this behaviora is learned

    Thoughts on the 'annihilationism' Thread

    You are badly mistaken. There are several references to the fact that there is consciousness of what is happening when a body of a believer dies. Both Jesus and Paul made reference to this. Philippians 1:23-24 3 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is...
